Sooooo I got you guys all excited for my debut as a Gotham Girl and then I fell off the face of the blogging planet! MY BAD! Have I mentioned that roller derby can be pretty time-consuming?! I am pleased to inform you that I have been drafted to the Queens of Pain (captained by [...]

Roller derby makes me hungry. Like, all the time. This weekend Corner and I made soy balsamic slow cooker chicken, frozen banana bites, and mint chocolate chip cookies. Today at lunch I went to Whole Foods in Tribeca because none of the other grocery stores I visited this weekend had coconut oil (which I need [...]
Ladies and gentlemen…I have procured paczki! For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, you’ve been missing out. I didn’t realize that paczki are a Polish-American “thing” until I left Michigan and paczki on Mardi Gras were suddenly impossible to come by. So tonight, for the first time since leaving Michigan [...]
I’ve been asked to write my player bio for GGRD’s website and 2012 program. As a writer, you’d think this would be easy, but it’s HARD to write about yourself! I need to reveal some random facts about me, list some of my likes and dislikes, etc. I’ve shared my draft below. Also, it’s super [...]

Last night I started packing for my upcoming trip to Michigan; I had gathered up all of the wrapped Christmas presents and placed them in a reusable shopping bag, which I left on top of the coffee table. Nigel’s gift [...]
This post could also be titled “The Best Christmas Gift Ever!” I have been bursting at the seams to share this news with everyone, and now that all of my ducks are in a row, I finally can! On November 19, I tried out for Gotham Girls Roller Derby for the second time. I think [...]
I just used my lunch break to run up to the library and pick up 5 books that I had placed on hold. My friend Sarah pointed out that the New York Public Library system allows you to find and reserve books online and have them sent to a designated library location, where they can [...]
Corner is in Ohio again for the month of December (he actually flies to Michigan on the day that I will be driving to Michigan for the holidays…jerk). As you may know, Corner does the majority of the cooking in our household, so it’s been interesting for me to figure out what on earth I’m [...]
